Task 2 - Dead Man's Lock
Open the lock to get at the treasure inside the chest.
The lock has a small window through which you can swap in and out the circular discs switching them for special T shape pieces. You can only swap the one currently in the window (click anywhere on the bolt), and only if it's not held in place by the adjacent disc overlapping it. The bolt will slide left and right. If you manage to slide it all the way out of the right hand side then the chest will spring open. Try it straight away and you will see that at the start it won't go. There is a T piece at the end blocking it from sliding. T pieces are too big to slide out the end.
The only way to get it out is to swap the Ts for discs. Trouble is you can only do that if they are not held in place by an adjacent overlapping disc. That means you have to swap in Ts to free them! But then they stop the bolt sliding out. Arghh!
Can you solve the puzzle and find the treasure?
